Default odd rumpling sound

hi, just bought a 2005 volvo s40 t5. when im at a very low speed or complete stop, and then accelerate, there is a odd rumpling noise(sounding as if i just hit many big small bumps) not sure how to describe, just seeing if any heard or had the same problem.

getting checked out in a week or two but was just curious, thanks!

Is the sound coming from the engine bay?

Those are all possibilities I suppose. Other things off the top of my head, maybe one of the motor mounts is bad, or something as simple as loose plastic in the wheel wells, or maybe heat shielding around exhaust components.
